Eliglustat acts at a level above the defective enzyme in Gaucher disease and reduces the amount of a toxic metabolite (glucosylceramide) that is the target of enzyme replacement therapy.
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs)
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) represent a group of about 50 genetic disorders caused by deficiencies of lysosomal proteins. Most involve genetic mutations causing loss of function of key catabo...
Gaucher's (go-SHAYZ) disease occurs when certain harmful fatty substances accumulate to excessive levels in your liver, spleen, lungs, bone marrow and, less commonly, brain. This accumulation of...
Enzymes - news, views, reports
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze (i.e., increase the rates of) chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into diff...

Genetic engineering of Pyrococcus furiosus to use chitin as a carbon source
Background: Bioinformatic analysis of the genes coding for the chitinase in Pyrococcus furiosus and Thermococcus kodakarensis revealed that most likely a one nucleotide insertion in Pyrococcus caused...
Controlled homocatenation of boron on a transition metal
Mild, controllable homocatenation of many elements is a considerable challenge, usually due to their low homonuclear σ-bond enthalpy. This is particularly difficult for boron, despite its high homonu...
Type: Original PaperPurposeβ-chitin hydrogel/nZnO composite bandage was fabricated and evaluated in detail as an alternative to existing bandages.Methodsβ-chitin hydrogel was synthesized by dissolvi...
Add boron for better batteries
(Rice University) A graphene-boron compound is theoretically capable of storing double the energy of common graphite anodes used in lithium-ion batteries.
(Rice University) Rice theoretical physicist Boris Yakobson and his colleagues detail several possible routes to the creation of two-dimensional sheets of boron. They say such sheets would be more con...
Asymmetric synthesis: Relay catalysis at a boron centre
A boron complex catalyses the addition of allyl groups — hydrocarbon motifs — to 'activated imines' in a relay-like process, generating synthetically useful compounds as single mirror-image isomer...
Penn State Researchers Develop 2D Bilayer Materials Using Graphene and Boron Nitride
By Nick Gilbert A research team at Penn State has developed a two-dimensional (2D) bilayer material by integrating one-to-two-atom-thick graphene layer with a hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) layer...

A novel chitin deacetylase (CDA) producing strain Penicillium oxalicum ITCC 6965 was isolated from residual materials of sea food processing industries. Strain following mutagenesis using ethidium bro...
A Highly N-Glycosylated Chitin Deacetylase Derived from a Novel Strain of Mortierella sp. DY-52.
Chitin deacetylase (CDA), the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetamido groups of GlcNAc in chitin, was purified from culture filtrate of the fungus Mortierella sp. DY-52 and characterized. Th...
Designing a new chitinase with more chitin binding and antifungal activity.
Chitinases have the ability of chitin digestion that constitutes a main compound of the cell wall in many of the phytopathogens such as fungi. Chitinase Chit42 from Trichoderma atroviride PTCC5220 is...
A novel thermostable chitin-binding domain (Tt-ChBD) of chitinase A1 from Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum DSM571 was cloned, characterized, and compared for its binding activity with anoth...
Examination of the α-Chitin Structure and Decrystallization Thermodynamics at the Nanoscale.
Chitin is the primary structural material of insect and crustacean exoskeletons and fungal and algal cell walls, and as such it is the one of the most abundant biological materials on Earth. Chitin fo...
